Tokyo Police

v7 Chapter 10: Sakura and Hanami Bento

"Ah, Xiuyi-kun, I'm so happy to be able to enjoy the cherry blossoms together!"

On the third day after being discharged from the hospital, which coincided with the weekend, Lin Xiuyi took the initiative to invite Miki, Kanako and Yuko to watch the cherry blossoms in Ueno Park in Taito District. When they first received the call, everyone was very surprised that Lin Xiuyi could be discharged from the hospital so quickly, but after some explanations, everyone was very happy for Lin Xiuyi.

"Thanks to everyone's concern, I'm really embarrassed. It turns out that my injury is not as serious as I thought, and it really caused everyone a lot of trouble!"

"It's too late to see Xiuyi-kun leaving the hospital so early, isn't it, Miko-chan!"

Kanako and Miko responded in harmony.

Although the pain of Lin Xiuyi's bruise has been greatly relieved in the past two days. But prolonged outdoor activities can still be a pain. Fortunately, as long as you can see the cherry blossoms, you can see the cherry blossoms.

Cherry blossom viewing was a very elegant activity in ancient times. It was originally born among the nobles of the Kyoto court in the Heian period. Later, with the rise of the samurai class and the respect of the merchant class, cherry blossom viewing has gradually become a kind of activity. The common people's way of entertainment, the custom of viewing cherry blossoms in modern society is no longer the literati and elegant demeanor of the past. For ordinary people, viewing cherry blossoms is just eating and drinking under the cherry trees. Therefore, Hanami Bento has become the most anticipated thing when viewing cherry blossoms.

Ueno Park is the most famous cherry blossom viewing spot in Tokyo. The period between mid-March and April every year is the season of cherry blossoms in Japan. There are more than 800 Somei Yoshino cherry trees planted in Ueno Park. The biggest feature of this cherry tree is that it has only five petals. Those varieties of cherry blossoms with more than five petals are usually called Yae cherry.

Lin Xiuyi and the others followed the cherry blossom viewing crowd to an open space beside Shiba Pond, and finally found a place to lay a picnic mat. After everyone laid out the picnic mats, they all sat down. They started sharing the Hanami bento that everyone brought.

"These are some bento dishes that I made before I went out. I don't know if they suit everyone's tastes. Please don't dislike them."

As Reina spoke, she knelt on the side of the mat and distributed the food in the picnic basket to everyone. Although Reina was modest about how her craftsmanship was, but Lin Xiuyi was very confident in Rena. And at the moment when the food box was opened, Lin Xiuyi saw everyone's extremely surprised expressions.

Cherry-blossom-shaped rice balls, the outer layer is covered with seaweed and the inside is filled with cheese omelette, in addition to tempura, sushi and some fresh vegetables of the season as a foil, Rena's craftsmanship really made several other people here. The lady feels ashamed.

"It's amazing. I can't bear to use chopsticks with such a beautiful shape."

Kanako picked up the food box in front of her, and while looking at it seriously, she sincerely praised.

"Miko-chan, what did you bring?"

Lin Xiu looked at Yu Zi and moved his picnic basket behind him, and immediately asked curiously.

"Sure enough, you still saw it, Xiu Yijun, forget it, I spent a lot of effort to make it. You can try it..."

Yuko reluctantly took out the picnic basket from behind, and then he opened the bento box and saw that one of them was a tuna diced potato salad, and the other was a beef sandwich.

"I feel like I've been completely defeated..."

In disappointment, Yuzi fell directly on the grass behind him, but Lin Xiuyi didn't feel anything. He reached out and picked up a beef sandwich and put it in his mouth.

"Although it looks ordinary, it tastes really good!"

"Nani Nani, actually got a compliment from Xiu Yijun instead of complaining..."

"Yes, after all, is Matsusaka beef still rare to eat?"

After a while of joking, Miki and Kanako also brought out the dishes they brought. These two are professional women, and rarely have the time and mind to engage in these dietary tricks on weekdays. Therefore, their level is basically still in the dishes they learned in the home economics class in middle school. However, the two knew that this was not the case at all, so they simply went to the bento shop and ordered the ready-made Hanami bento.

"Why didn't I think of going to the bento shop? What a shame!"

Yuko sighed and fell on the grass behind him again.

"Alright, alright, it's time to start. In fact, your craftsmanship is pretty good, but you can't compare it to Rena-chan. Of course, if you use Matsusaka beef as a luxury to make bento, you can be considered well-intentioned."

Lin Xiu comforted the pair of royal sons.

Lin Xiuyi took out cold beer and soda from the ice box he carried with him and handed it to everyone. After everyone toasted together, they began to drink to their heart's content.

"I'm so glad to have a chance to enjoy the cherry blossoms with everyone before leaving Tokyo..." Kanako said with emotion after drinking heavily.

"Eh? Are you leaving so soon?" Lin Xiuyi asked in surprise

"Yeah, the ratings of the pilot episode have already come out, and it actually ranked first among all the TV programs in the same time slot, so Director Mizukawa and I immediately asked Iwate Prefecture to plan for the events after the filming started. It really makes people feel I'm happy, and it makes me feel a lot of pressure!"

Kanako unceremoniously picked up a piece of Rena's thick egg yaki~lightnovelpub.net~ and entered the mouth, the sweetness of the silk and the umami of the ingredients skillfully blended together. Immediately, Kanako felt a sense of freshness that she had never felt before.

"Awesome, are these really made by Rena Sauce? It's really delicious. How could Rena Sauce make so many delicious dishes!"

After Kanako swallowed the food, she asked Reina this question very curiously.

"I thought of it when I was in Aomori in the past, because I thought that these sea animals would lose their lives when they were brought to the table, so I felt that I couldn't live up to them no matter what, so I naturally wanted to learn how to make these animals Things taste better."

"It's really amazing, by the way, Rena-chan, you're on spring break right now?"

"Hi!"

"Are you interested in going to Iwate Prefecture with me for a few days? To be honest, there are a lot of scenes of food making in our dramas, but the girl idol who plays the protagonist seems to be from a young lady, and she doesn't know how to cook at all. Dish, it's really a headache!"

Kanako asked Reina unexpectedly.
